Hi Jen I have my first appointment tomorrow so you and I are in the same boat. I'll be your buddy.

Ok so how many of you hate needles and are freaking out about all the blood work we need and the IV? I know I am

Needles don't bother me too much. I've had so many surgeries, I wonder how many I could have skipped If I was able to do this 20 yrs ago. Hysterectomy, 2 knee replaced 2 hernia surgeries and gall bladder( tho to be fair every woman in my mother's family had her gall bladder removed within a year of having a baby. My fear is, failure. I am a strong woman and I can do this. It's just that little door in the back of my mind where the self doubt hides...

My first appointment is tomorrow. I have no idea what this doctor will say. Very nervous.

Do you live close to TJ? I have heard many good things about having plastic surgery there but I'm in Kentucky and wondering how I would do so far away from home and how I would get back.

Where in ky are you? I live in Shelbyville and I have my consult appointment tomorrow.. so excited

You look amazing. Not trying to be rude but can you give us a ball park figure on the c cost

Never mind I read back. Thanks for the info

Some people like to run and only ever run (I personally will only be running during the zombie apocalypse).

Lol you and me both sister

Becky relax. S**t happens. You'll be fine. The doctor had referred you will send her notes to them. I have the same problem. The doctor who got me started on this journey is leaving. So now I have to get used to someone new. Stressing yourself out will not help your recovery. So breathe in breathe out and move on. You got this!

It is so amazing to see everyone's pics. I am feeling better about doing this worth every pic I see. Thank you, all of you

Good luck. I can't wait till my appointment

I saw some people who had the sleeve done on the Doctors show. They only had to do clear Fluid s for 24 hrs before

It can't be soon enough for me. My bp was 174/90 a couple hours ago. Took mymeds and feel sleep just woke up about am hour ago:(

My 1st appointment is with St Mary's bariatric. I'm not sure which doctor yet?

heres mine me at my biggest of 425lbs, then a the full body was oct of 2013 and the head shot was new years eve

You look amazing. I'm just starting my journey at 371 my consult is on July 30. I can't wait

That's the problem, ii can't get the pro site to work so I can put the info in and see or add pics. I can only use the regular site like I am now

I am a Rick Springfield fan for 30 yrs (We call ourselves Rick chicks) and I live in Kentucky and the year I was born.

My stripper name is Trixie Hobbs

Call and ask to speak with a supervisor. Squeaky wheel time

I was trying to use the pro site and it wouldn't let me post or see allot of the categories. Anyone else having issues ?

I just got the date for my consult. July 30th! The coordinator said the insurance already approved it! I'm so excited and already nervous!

I have trying to figure out my spiritual side for a while now. I have found that Buddhism is probably closer to my feelings than anything else tho I'm not practicing anything right now. It's a lovely way to look at life.

Alex, as a 68 year old woman I applaud you for not shutting down this thread. If it offends some one they should quit looking. There is a story here that needs telling. There is not a person here who is without bad judgment and mistakes in their lives. Not ONE and certainly not me. Those who go to Mexico must be warned about this man, there is too much smoke here. If this man, God forbid, is HIV positive (and with his history God only knows what he can possibly be spreading), you might save one person from it by this thread. I hope common sense overtakes the ridiculousness of some of these rants, that the point is to warn women that a predator is in Mexico in sheeps' clothing.

Thank goodness that the majority of the people here can see the forest for the trees. Remember what we learned in health class... you aren't just sleeping with him, you're sleeping with EVERYBODY HES EVER SLEPT WITH. Yikes!

Hi. Thankfully there were really no hoops to jump through. Mostly just a lot of test. Had blood work and a test to check my heart and lungs the same day as my free first appointment on May 28th, then they did a body comp test, a phych eval, and the last test was my EGD on the 8th. I will be having surgery the 24th. So the whole process took about 2 months. It wasn't too bad. I have heard of of some that has gone a lot quicker. Good luck! Hope that helps.

I had the hernia surgery twice. Once with my hysterectomy (double the fun) and once out of the blue one morning. I have NEVER been so sick in my life and so thankful for narcotic drugs after it.

Sure it matters.  It speaks to her credibility.  Also, I don't appreciate the dig at Latinos. 

 

There was no slur intended...he is of Latin descent, yes? He is having relations with several woman. Yes? I rest my case. I'm sorry if it offended you but im not wrong.

It doesn't matter what *Susan* wrote before or otherwise. The info is what's matters. Both sides confirm that this guy has slept with several(if not dozens) patients. No matter what he should not be doing that. We have ethics in this country for that reason. The fact that he does so much business in this country he should be held to the same standards. Also this guy doesn't care that these girls are puky or bloated as long as he gets his rocks off. I'm sorry the doctor needs to address this issue because all it does is make his office look bad.. Tell the Latin lover to keep it in his pants.

This woman is just amazing. I hope my attitude is as great as hers.

Thank you to everyone. Im not sure if Cigna will cover this without alot of cage rattling but I intend to jump thru whatever hoops they want me to. I may not be having my surgery for 6 months(tho that would break my heart) but I'll be on my way by this time next year. My knee replacements are already bothering me so I hope my ortho can get this process speeded along. I will do a lot of research on here and other sites. My life depends on it.
